第二部分 阅读理解
(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和 D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Washington Sightseeing Guide
White House – Public tours of the White House have been offered since Thomas Jefferson was president, but you can’t just drop in. Visits to the White House are in high demand, and you must make your request through your member of Congress(国会) up to six months, and no fewer than 21 days, before your visit. Be sure to check the White House tour-info Web site to make sure about the personal identification you’ll need. And before the day of your visit, call 202-456-7041 to confirm the tour schedule.
Lincoln’s Cottage – Lincoln’s Cottage, the hilltop home where President Lincoln lived during part of the Civil War, is simply furnished but features lighting effects and actors’ recordings that reveal Lincoln’s thoughts on slavery and the war. “In the library you can actually see the ghost lines of where the library shelves would have been,” says cottage director Erin Carlson Mast. “We haven’t re-created the bookshelves because that was such an amazing moment of discovery for us that we wanted to preserve that so people can have that moment of discovery themselves.”
Library of Congress – The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings: the Thomas Jefferson Building, James Madison Memorial Building and the John Adams Building. Although trying to see all of it in one day is possible, it’s probably best to do a little thinking ahead and figure out which areas you’d really like to explore (i.e. when your feet start to hurt, you won’t feel so bad about not catching everything). The most popular visitor destination is the Thomas Jefferson Building, but there are things worth seeing – murals(壁画), sculptures, performances – elsewhere in the complex.
21. Which is true about the White House?
A. It is a new tourist attraction.
B. It is open only to members of Congress.
C. A reservation for a visit is required.
D. You should call 202-456-7041 during your visit.
22. In Lincoln’s Cottage, you can ______.
A. see actors giving performances
B. see the bookshelves in the study
C. hear the recorded voice of Lincoln
D. learn about Lincoln’s opinions on slavery
23. The paragraph about the Library of Congress implies that ______.
A. there is so much to see there
B. there are so many visitors there
C. you needn’t spend so much time there
D. you should drive there instead of walking
B
Mother’s Day is coming up. Maybe your gift is wrapped and your dinner plans booked for mom, step-mom, grandmother – whoever the person is who fed, cared for, taught and loved you.
But there are other people who said their most special Mother’s Day memories rarely dealt with beautifully wrapped objects, but rather, the ways people showed they cared.
Mother’s Day 2012 was the last one Jannet Walsh was able to celebrate with her mother, Margaret, who had a stroke (中风) in 2009. In her last few years, Walsh always shot photos and videos of their visits together, and with Walsh’s West Highland White Terrier, Andrew.
“My mother had a dog just like him, so I would tell her it was her dog, and she would hold onto his leash, even in bed up to the last few weeks before she passed away,” Walsh said.
As Mother’s Day approached, Walsh wanted a way to remember her mother and “best friend”. She decided to build the memories she captured during those last few years into a video memorial – images of her mother with Andrew or quiet moments at her gravesite.
“I thought it good to tell the story with few words, just show my mother as she was – happy, and loved till the end,” Walsh said.
Mother’s Day was not a light-hearted subject for Wendy Bowers in the past. Her mom had walked out when she was 18, and Bowers had tried for years to become pregnant without success. She had almost convinced herself she wasn’t meant to be a parent.
But three years after she gave up on having a baby, Bowers discovered that she was pregnant. Six weeks earlier than expected, little Nathan arrived.
That first year, Nathan, only 10 months old, was sick with a stomach bug. Bowers said she spent the day holding him between loads of laundry. “I would not have been anywhere else in the world that day,” she said. “I wouldn’t trade that first Mother’s Day for anything, and I’m pretty sure Mother’s Day will always be a reminder to me of just how lucky I am to even be a mom.”
24. What does the underlined word “Andrew” refer to?
A. Walsh’s child.
B. Walsh’s mother.
C. Walsh’s dog.
D. Walsh’s mother’s dog.
25. The purpose of what Walsh did for her mother before Mother’s Day was to ______.
A. bring her mother what she wanted
B. show she would be loved till the end
C. celebrate her last Mother’s Day
D. remember her and share her story
26. How does Bowers feel about what happened on her first Mother’s Day as a mother?
A. It was worth it.
B. It was unlucky.
C. It was unexpected.
D. It was unbearable.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Painful memories of Mother’s Day.
B. Plans for Mother’s Day.
C. Tips for a special Mother’s Day.
D. Special ideas for Mother’s Day.
C
Like people, plants experience stress. And also, like people, the response to that stress can determine success.
Bad environmental conditions, such as drought, flood, heat and other stresses, affect yields(产量) more than crop pests and diseases. We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields, said Stephen Howell, a professor of genetics and cell biology.
Plant cells produce proteins (蛋白质) and ship them to different parts of the cell. Under normal conditions, these proteins are folded into their normal, healthy structures as they are produced. When a plant is under stress, its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins. Then a built-in system senses this and “sets off an alarm in the cell,” said Howell.
In response to the alarm, another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive.
“As it turns out, responses that are activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants,” said Howell. “This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions.”
For plants in the wild, this response is a help for survival, he said. In production of agriculture crops, however, this response reduces yields.
“You don’t want crop plants to stop growing,” Howell said. “You want them to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress.”
With the new understanding of this stress response, the next step may be to silence the alarm system, said Howell. “What may be important is to disable some of these stress responses. That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.”
28. According to the text, an alarm in the plant cells is caused by ______.
A. the folded proteins
B. the changed proteins
C. the defensive measures
D. the stress response genes
29. The energy preserved in the plants under stress conditions ______.
A. helps the plants to survive
B. helps to maintain high yields
C. keeps the plants growing
D. helps to produce proteins
30. The underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “______”.
A. prevent B. start
C. continue D. promote
31. How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions?
A. By making crop plants keep more energy.
B. By making crop plants stop growing.
C. By making the alarm system stop working.
D. By making the alarm system respond quickly.
D
Sometimes ideas do not appear when you are concentrating your attention and mysteriously appear when you are not. Modern science recognizes this as a result of incubating(酝酿) the problem in your subconscious(潜意识) yet can’t account for why it occurs.
When you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it, your subconscious mind doesn’t quit working. Your thoughts keep making associations. This is why you’ve experienced suddenly remembering names, getting solutions to problems you’ve forgotten about, and ideas out of the blue when you are relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing.
You may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it. Now let go of the problem. Don’t work on it. Forget it. Do something else. This is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness, in your unconscious. Open the letter in two days. The answer might magically pop into your mind.
An advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign. Bert, the creative director, wrote the following letter which he addressed to his subconscious mind.
Secret Expert，
I need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of television shows. I’m interested in some kind of campaign that will capture the audience’s attention more than one time. Is there something people need that we can advertise on? What kind of products, foods and services should we investigate? I need your idea about a fresh approach to advertising.
Thanks, Bert
Bert mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written, he got his brainstorm, which was to advertise on “eggs”. Somehow an association between “foods”, “need” and “fresh approach” inspired the thought of using “fresh eggs to advertise.” He arranged to put the ad for the television shows on eggs—some thirty million.
The consumers look at a single egg at least a few times, when they buy the eggs at the store, when they transfer them to the refrigerator, and when they crack them open. It’s unlike any other ad medium in the world, because you’re looking at it while you are using it.
32. You remember names though you are not thinking about them because your subconscious mind
______.
A. stops working
B. is still working
C. is full of names
D. improves your memory
33. During the incubation stage, your focused awareness ______.
A. doesn’t work
B. controls your thoughts
C. waits for an answer
D. helps your unconscious
34. Which of the following was included in Bert’s letter to his subconscious mind?
A. What he wanted it to do.
B. When he would need its help.
C. What product could be advertised.
D. How the solution could be found.
35. In what way did the ad put on eggs help?
A. It greatly increased the sales of eggs.
B. It helped Bert to get a brainstorm.
C. It made sure that consumers could get fresh eggs.
D. It made the TV shows known to people repeatedly.

When I was in the sixth grade, we moved to Tipton and my dad went to work for Arden Farms. He drove a milk truck, which 41 milk from the dairies(牛奶场) in and around Tipton. He started to work in the very early morning hours and 42 in the evening, after the cows had been 43 .
Some days, he would 44 my brother and me go with him. I was always thrilled to get to ride in the old 45 . I don’t 46 how many 10-gallon cans were on the truck, but I am guessing 50 or 60, and they were 47 with a big heavy cloth. I don’t remember what time we went to work, but I guess it was about five in the 48 . In winter, it would still be dark and sometimes very 49 and foggy.

My dad would unload the empty cans and then load the 54 ones on the truck. He was not a really big man, but he was very 55 , so he could lift them 56 onto the truck. After he loaded all the full cans from that stop, we drove to the next dairy. In the evening, it was the same 57 all over again. He didn’t 58 until about 10 p.m.
Nowadays, 59 we drive around out in these same areas, I will think of 60 in the milk truck with my father. I love looking for the little old buildings that were once those family-owned businesses.

When Mr. Tang slowly went into the classroom, we could see clear that it was hard for him to leave us though he has taught us for only three months. We all listened attentively for every word he said. If only we had behaved like this before! The naughty boys who unusually did well that day.

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by zxxk the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
remember the birth of jazz.
protect cultural diversity.
encourage people to study music.
recognize the value of jazz.
does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
becoming more accessible.
production of jazz growing faster.
being less popular with the young.
jazz audience becoming larger.
can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
will disappear gradually.
remains black and white.
should keep up with the times.
changes every 50 years.
h of the following can be the best title for the text?
oring the Future of Jazz.
Rise and Fall of Jazz.
Story of a Jazz Musician.
brating the Jazz Day.

A buld-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5' 5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment zxxk out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
32. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A. It’s delicate. B. It’s expensive.
C. It’s complex. D. It’s portable.
33. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The tube. B. The still.
C. The hole. D. The cup.
34. What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place.
C. Weight the sheet’s center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
35. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form .
A. the plastic tube B. outside the hole
C. the open air D. beneath the sheet

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36 .
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community(医学界) 61 a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 62 (effect) such as overweight and heart disease-the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.
Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63 (process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food
67 (be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.
Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health.

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor’s orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank. I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “Turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.
